Hi all
Sorry I have been absent - daddy duties all week.
I have a lot of listening to catch up on!
So, here's my go at 'Directions', and I have steered a course towards a drier, more intimate vocal and acoustic guitar mix using Mike's tiny room technique - actually a combination of a couple of different intimate 'spaces' for vox and guitars. Tried to make it sound like they were recorded in your listening environment with no obvious reverb wash.
I have a longer plate reverb tucked away for backing vox and some other elements, and I have a plate reverb directly on the overheads, but brought waaay down, just to tickle them into the background a bit.
Probably makes not much difference to the overall result but I thought I'd see how it pans out.
Made a production decision to scoop all the low end frequencies of the main acoustic guitars and bass guitar to get rid of the low end boom that was happening when they are playing together so the low end isn't rumbling in this mix, which suits the style of the song. I also radically removed low end in the electric guitars for the same reason, and they now comfortably sit an octave above the bass line.
Pretty happy with this mix, but there's undoubtedly room for improvement.
So let me know where and how!

So many songs, so little time!
